The men immediately started attacking the two families.
Even though the people in the Lopez and the Black families were considered martial artists now, they were still no
match for those men.
Zarain had sent elite fighters to deal with them.
In the end, what happened was a one-sided affair as everyone in the two families got beaten to a pulp and dragged
into a big truck like they were dead.
Inside the truck were full of people that were getting deported.
After a few hours, all of them were transported to the border and dumped as though they were all garbage,
including Henry and the lot.
“If you people ever step into Zarain again, it’ll be the sea next time!” Someone at the border warned them.
At that moment, Henry and the others were at a loss as they stared at the barren desert ahead of them.
They did not know where to go from there.
They had no money nor identity.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey couldn’t go anywhere.
They were in the worst situation imaginable, comparable to that of savages.
We were on top of the world just some moments ago! How did it come to this?
“I truly regret this! I should have never left Erudia in the first place!” People started bursting into tears not far away,
regretting the decision they made.
“I’m so stupid! Why did I leave Erudia! Erudia was so good!”
“Yeah! How can this compare to what we had in Erudia? We must have lost our minds!”
……
More people were swept into the whirlwind of emotions and started crying.
Even the people from the Lopez and the Black families were crying a river.
They deeply regretted the decisions they made.
“We were a bunch of idiots! Why didn’t we listen to the elders!”
“I regret everything I did! If I had another chance, I would never leave Erudia again!”
“Mum, Dad, I miss you! Zarain sucks! Eudia is the best!”
Jennie, Melanie, Henry, Shaun, and Logan, went on their knees, one by one, crying as they lamented their decisions.
It was the darkest and most helpless moment in their lives.
However, what came next would be the most trying time they would ever experience.
“Everyone! Run!”
There was a commotion coming from the crowd.
Turns out, human traffickers had come to capture them.
People with no identity like them were the best targets to be turned into laborers.
“Run! Run!”
Everyone was scattering like preys, officially starting their lives as refugees.
And yet, that was only part of the picture.
That day, the same scene could be seen happening all across the borders of Zarain.
It was the only way Zarain could vent out their frustration because of what Levi did.
But of course, they did not dare lay a finger on Erudians who were in Zarain.
They were still Erudia’s people.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe only people they targeted were the ones that gave up their citizenship in Erudia like Shaun Lopez.
After all, they were considered people of Zarain, and the nation could do anything it wanted to them.
……
At the East of Erudia, a private helicopter landed. And out came Levi, with Byron and Jared with him.
Floyd and the others were all there to welcome him.
Even with the mask on, everyone knew it was Levi.
“Send Byron back where he needs to be—the prison!” Levi ordered.
“Yes, sir! Take him away!”
Floyd waved his hand, and Byron was immediately taken away.
Byron’s face was ashen grey.
Looks like I’m never leaving Erudia.
Then, Levi looked towards Jared and said, “As for Jared. Just end his life on the spot!”
“Wait!”
“You can’t kill him!”
“He’s our guy now! You can’t touch him!”
